Muzz, the new project of Paul Banks (Interpol), Josh Kaufman (Bonny Light Horseman), and Matt Barrick (The Walkmen), will release their self-titled, debut album next Friday on June 5th via Matador/Rhythmethod. Today, they unveil a new single/video, ‘Knuckleduster’. Brimming with wall-to-wall guitars, reverberating pianos and a thunderous performance from Barrick, ‘Knuckleduster’ is Muzz at their most immersive and grandiose. Shot below the American Treasure Tour Museum, the stark video draws attention to the song’s spacious sonics and exhilarating musicianship.
Banks says: “While we were shooting the video for ‘Red Western Sky’ at the American Treasure Tour facility, we discovered this great space underneath the museum. Unplanned, we quickly set up and started filming again – capturing the video for ‘Knuckleduster’ on the same day.
‘Knuckleduster’ follows previously released singles ‘Red Western Sky’, ‘Broken Tambourine’, and ‘Bad Feeling’.
Muzz continue to share live performance videos to give fans a further taste of the trio’s magnetic chemistry, both live and on record. Following the band’s acoustic performance of ‘Bad Feeling’, last week they released ‘Trinidad’, an unheard song off the self-titled debut album.
